Hi,

TI syntax is normalcdf(smaller, larger, �, σ).

Note: The -9999 is used as the smaller value(if unknown) to be at least 5 standard deviations from the mean.

Note: The 9999 is used as the larger value to be at least 5 standard deviations from the mean.

a. P (x ≥ 75) = normalcdf(75, 9999, 71, 2.3).

b. normalcdf(65, 72, 71, 2.3).

c. invNOrm(.90) = (X-71)/2.3

2.3invNOrm(.90) + 71 = X, How tall an officer has to be to get in that top 10% group
